#ScribesAndMakers 8 Gauge?
Standard gauge (4ft 8.5in) for relaxing long distance travel on mainline trains.
Narrow gauge for the fun and excitement of real steam trains running through beautiful scenery. Examples: the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland railway (1ft 11.5in), Talyllyn Railway and Corris railways (an idiosyncratic 2ft 3in) and the Vale of Rheidol Railway (1ft 11.75in).
Finally, there's the miniature Fairbourne railway for a jolly jaunt beside the sea whose gauge is a mere 12.25in.
